Well yes sort of. The whole design of social-mediaised sites IS to get you to read and immediately post, rather than go away and come back with a reasoned response.Originally posted by speling bee View PostSo the way to repsond to that reaction is to post that they're freaks on the internet? Because your fingers are controlled by your gut responses. Freak. See, now you've got me at it.
Just look at CUK - people post overly emotional responses all the time when someone pisses them off.
Also calling someone a freak and saying it freaks you out are very different.

See, now you've got me at it.Originally posted by d000hg View PostLove all the PC brigade piling on whoever said they freaked him out and suggested it wasn't normal. Being freaked out is a normal reaction because they are, in the truest possible sense of the word, freaks. It's an honest reaction to be taken aback initially - exactly as if you saw a black/white person for the first time in your life.
It's how you respond to that reaction which is important, not that you pretend it never happened.
